So holding the conspirators of 9/11 indefinitely at Gitmo is a worse crime than committing 9/11 in the first place? Without an indictment and an evidentiary trial according to the principles of due process, including representation by counsel and the right to confront witnesses and all that legalistic mumbo-jumbo, yes. Because it is America doing it. Hell, even the old time Kings of England had Star Chambers, which is more of a trial than these guys have gotten so far. **************** From A Man for all Seasons: Roper: So now you'd give the devil the benefit of law? Sir Thomas More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the devil? Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every tree in England to do that. More: Oh, and when the last law was down and the devil turned 'round on you where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast, man's laws not God's, and if you cut them down - and you're just the man to do it - do you really think that you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the devil the benefit of the law, for my own safety's sake. ***************** Would you destroy America to save her?
